Millside Farm

Millside farm, Galston, Ayrshire, South West ScotlandMillside Farm, Galston, owned by David and Jennifer Alexander, is situated within the rolling open Ayrshire countryside written about in the poems of Robert Burns when he lived at Mossgiel just outside the nearby village of Mauchline.
